Just seen a report on French TV. A guy was suggesting that a mushroom could cure just about everything. (New version could even give immunity to HIV) The mushroom was used (allegedly) by the Chinese 1993 Olympic Track team as a performance enhancing aid.
Cordyceps is the magic mushroom. On the internet, the following is attributed to it: (Reminds me of guys trying to sell me tiger balm - never bought any of that either)
* immune system enhancer
* anti-tumor properties
* liver tonic (enhances function and repairs damage - has been used in the treatment of hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver)
* nerve tonic (relaxes the nerves without producing a feeling of grogginess)
* relaxes the heart rate and causes short term lowering of blood pressure
* reduces total cholesterol and triglyceride levels
* has an inhibitive effect on platelet coagulation
* has testosterone like effects on the body
* bronchi-dilator
* anti-aging properties
